 The racks are amazing!!  I come from a hunter family also but married a city boy.  I miss the farm and hunting.  Loved the pic of the family too.  We went on a cruise to Alaska last year and absolutely loved Alaska.  Don't know if I would love it in the winter or not. lol  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Terry!!!!  I have been in Alaska almost all of my life, and have yet to do a cruise.  But my DH & I have talked about doing the inside passage cruise.  There is one that leaves from Seward.  So we would not have to fly down to Washington to get on the boat.

The winters here can definately be a drag.  I admit that.  Too long.  But we try & get out for 10-14 days after Christmas and visit family in the lower 48.  My mom is moving to Hawaii..... I am thinking I might have a winter get-away!!!!!

Hi right backatcha!! So glad to hear you're still trudging along even though the damned insurance company is still being a pain in the ass! You'll get there honey, you just keep on keepin on!! You're gonna be a wonderful DSer. You've had to fight for it. Not saying that people who didn't have to fight for it aren't good DSers. It's like making a teenager work for the money to buy the new video game. Sometimes, I know in MY case, I was better prepared. Mainly because of this very board. Good luck to you honey. I can't wait to see, APPROVED beside your avi!! HUGS

Thanks, Ruby!!!!

I always look foward to your picture posts, the changes remind me of my RNY weight-loss.  My mind had a hard time catching up with my outward appearance, for sure!!!

Keep the positive cooments flowing!!!!!  It is hard getting the denials, or the waiting game.  UUGGHHHHHH.  Makes you want to just give in & go away....... Then I come back here for that MUCH NEEDED pep talk!!!!

I hear ya! In my 2 year wait I almost gave up several times. I even picked up smoking, after being quit for 2 years, I was so down. The people on this board pulled me through. I quit smoking AGAIN and got my head in the game. So thankful EVERY day I kept fighting and you will be too.

I know what you mean about the mind needing to catch up with the body. My picture still amaze me. I still see the same me in the mirror, except the face. I do the pics for me every month and I love to share them. I know how much I LOVED seeing others pics

See, there you are again!!!!  With that AWSOME & POSITIVE attitude!!!!  You too have struggled, and are now sharing your experience "paying it foward" to those of us who are struggling.

Thanks for commiserating with me!!!

I needed the PICK-UP, seriously!!!  Glad that you are now on the 'other side' to coach others, like me, who are struggling with one thing or another.



I APPRECIATE YOU!!!!

Did you and your family/friends eat all of those mooses?

Oh yes, subsistence is the name of our game.  DH needed help, so a quarter was gone before he came home.  We will have 100 pounds of ground.  Then roasts and stew meat.  So, we basically substitute beef for moose.
