Lucky # Sevens- July 07 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I am 1 1/2 hour drive from Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto."YYZ"

From Buffalo, about a 3 hour drive I think.

From Port Huron, Michigan I am a 4 -5 hr drive...

Things to do.... Visit Toronto for day, sightseeing, shopping then there is Niagra Falls to visit if anyone is interested.

Then there are tons of Walking Trails in the Blue Mountains (30 mins away)

There is the 14mile long freshwater beach, right here in town. Water slides etc..

If anyone wants anymore info just let me know... plus your US $ are worth more than Cdn$ right now, so you get a good savings there too.

:confused:

OK EVERYONE (Denise - karri- kari - steph - linda - phyl - Steph - Car & Donna - Who plans on going to our 2ND Annual Lucky #7 get together..

This year Canada - Candice house

7/24 Weekend - I am looking to Fly in Thrusday and then leave monday.

Linda talked about pickup up Kari on her way since she isn't big on driving and says that she's not missing out this year.

Personally I think this will be better than last time cuz we will have more girl time together - well - I will have to shop a litte :0)...

Ok gang - Chime in and say who's going !!! We gotta get this in the works

I doubt that I can come. It is going to be way too expensive and I am still trying to pay off surgeries. On top of that we just took a 1.61% pay cut for the rest of the year which means an extra 150$ out of my paycheck every month from now until August and then more pay cuts are expected next year.

I would love to go but dropping 500$ on a flight is not something that we can afford to do right now. That would be my DH's entire paycheck!!!

If we ever go to Vegas...I can make that one!!!

What about BUS or TRAIN, wouldn't that be cheaper than flying??? Plus, you already have the time off...:w00t:

An orthopedist is simply a bone specialist. These days, they tend to specialize in specific joints/bones. The first guy I went to last summer turned me over to someone else because he did partial but not total knee replacements. So it tends to get a little ridiculous, but in your case, I think I'd look for a back or spine specialist. I know you're fairly limited because of where you live, but check it out.

Phyl, you're right on the snoot! I encountered the same thing, but it was well worth it.

Hi ladies. Hope you all had a great day!

I feel like I'm always complaining about my back, so if you feel that way too, skip this :w00t: Though I know you won't because you are all so awesome:thumbup:

I have not had an MRI yet. In January doc said if it got worse we would do one, but when it got worse and I called I've been put off for 3 weeks. He's out of town and I completely understand, but it's going to be a long couple of weeks. I'm sure when I see him again we will get to the bottom of it. It is bad enough that I won't let him just sluff me off. However, in the past, the pain has always resolved itself and I truly expected it to do that this time too.

One question. Is a back specialist called an orthopedist? Is that the kind of doc I need to be looking for? I thought that was a joint doc, but maybe I'm crazy. You all are much more medically smart than I.

As for food....life is going well in that department. My fill has brought me some relief from the hunger. I can eat my yogurt in the morning and be satisfied until lunch. Had a kashi bar for lunch, was fine until dinner. Had a bit of Soup and good until....we'll see. So that is positive. I'm focussing on THAT success and trying to ignore the back.

Well, I started this an hour ago and then got busy on the phone. I promise that after this weekend I will stay at home until my back problems have been resolved. Even turned down a free trip to TJ because of the back issues (so it must be bad!).

Good night ladies. Have a great tomorrow. Hugs to you all.

Sounds like you're close to the sweet spot. It's nice when you're there.

LUV and HUGs,

That would only happen if there's another will dated after the one we found... Which I doubt - My sis is going to be chomping at the bit to know what's in there she thinks that there is a will leaving it all to her son - this is why we have problems - she wanted me to destory the original will - and they think I am the dishonest one... But I'm not saying anything till I hear back from Attorney - and then I will call her.. He most likely had crazy stuff in there - but we will see.

For me - our lucky #7 thread is where I get my support - I don't know what I would do with out all of you - and I think that God put us all here for a purpose - look at those of us who are still posting - who are meeting and getting together - we really have become a family - (omg I am tearing up right now) - Sister for life ...

Ok - I ck'd airfare for 7/23 to 7/27 to Canada $500 something yesterday which was down like 250 from last time I checked... - so I need to know if the invitation is still open - and are we all still bunking with you Candice

We need to firm this up soon...

Who all is going -

The insanity really sets in around wills, in the receiving and in the creating. My mother died a year ago, and I was amazed at what crazy things my mother could think up along the way. I could trace when I was in her good graces and when I was out....then, there was when my father's twin brother died and my brother wanted to question my aunt's investment advisers. Strange.....As I once heard "and this too shall pass".

OOps, better run. Hubby should be here to pick me up from work in 1 minutes.

Luv to all.

Well, I am going to get there one way or the other. I was hoping to talk DH into a motor home trip. We could spend that weekend in Canada and have time for a good visit with Mom and family in Buffalo. Yesterday this friggin' little postcard came in the mail. He has jury duty July 13! Ticks me off. First letter he got they wanted him this spring. So he sent back the form and said he would only be in the state May-Sept. So then we get this... July 13~!

So if he has to be available for a week, we couldn't even make it by car let alone RV and train is out of the question, too. So, only way to make it is to fly. I DO NOT like to fly anymore, and especially not all the way across the coubtry. But looks like that will be the only option. So we'll probably fly to Buffalo and rent a car.. so I don't know if he'll come up to Canada with me or not. He probably will, though.

I don't think DH would let you out of his sight that long :0)

He's met Linda's DH and they seemed to get along just fine - so the 3 guys would have each other and not have to worry about us....

Too cute!! Cat is always sleeping at the foot of the bed on MY side when I got to bed. But one night when it was quite chilly, I went back there and she was under the covers with her head on my pillow!

Love those purple sheets, BTW!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
