Roll call....watch cha doing this weekend?

You lil ole city slicker, he he he!!! I love me some blackeye peas and hawg jowl!!!!  Gosh, makes me wish for just a second I hadnt had surgery so I could eat 2 plates full!!!!! But so thankful for surgery, I'll eat 2 or 3 bites and be happy!!!   Hugs,  Im off to put this dang headache to bed, Rhonda D.

Hi Susan! Yesterday (Saturday) I went shopping resale shops!  I also dropped by Wal-Mart to shop for knee braces to support my knees while I walk. Today I went back by Wal-Mart and got me 2 knee braces.  Then my daughter and I went by JCPenny.  I bought me some new Reebok walking shoes and my daughter got another new swimsuit.  I also got my eyebrows waxed because... well... they were terrible. I went to eat lunch at Taco Bell between Wal-Mart and JCPenny with my mom & dad.  (Total bummer - read rants & raves forum for details.)  Tonight, my daughter and I went back to town w/ my mom & dad to eat at Outback Steakhouse.  (I ate 1/4 cup of my mom's steak and 1 tbsp A-1.)  I think mom's steak was way too well done for me - made me a little sick, but not for long.   My son and husband were back tonight!  I've done a crossword and posted a couple of posts on here!   SOOO exciting, right??? LOL

Hey there, First of all, I didn't know your knees were bothering you...  When did that start?  Gee, you'd think after losing all that weight they would be in much better shape? I read your Taco Bell rant (first time I've visited that board) and sounds like a lovely experience, to say the least.  What a bunch of cr**.  I swear, customer service gets worse and worse every day. If I treated a client the way we're treated at most establishments I'd be broke! It's like we owe THEM something. Can't get a smile or pleasant attitude to save your life. Where did DH and DS go? I had a quiet evening since Gary had to (yes, had to) volunteer at Riverfest.  How is it even though you HAD to do something you're still considered a volunteer??? Ah, well, sounds like an exciting day.  Hope you enjoy the day today.

My knees HADN'T been bothering me until about the last week.  They ache occassionally now. They HAVE definately improved since I lost weight.  (I'm not on daily medication for them anymore.)  But the damage of carrying around all that weight on them can't be undone.  The cartilage is gone.   My hubby and son went to Texarkana to see my husband's grandmother and some of his family (the not-crazy ones).  They had fun.  My daughter & I didn't want to go - so we did our own thing.   Today we're going to swim and grill and do God-only-knows-what-else.  I'll probably blog about it tonight.   Hope everyone is having a great day!
