Monday Morning What Happening

Don't know what in the world we will be doing today. It is suppose to get up to 95 today and that is tooooooooooooo hot for man or beast. What good we got from the rain will be undone with that sort of temps. I will have to get out really early this morning to finish that Iris bed because once it starts with that temp I will have to go into the house and stay. Oh well will make me clean up some stuff in the house. Lol. Gosh I hate house work. Love gardening. May run over and see other daughter today if she hasn't gotten something else planned. Carol: congratulations on the new babies. We are going to have to start calling your place Animal Kingdom. LOL Kittens are so adorable . Melissa: So glad you did well on your garage sale. They take a lot of work to get ready for them and to stay out and do them too. My husband wants to go see that movie too. It looks exciting . Is there more than one Food 4 Less food store in Springfield? If so where is the one that you went to located? That may be what we do today. Go to Springfield and get the Protein powder and also go to wal mart. Thanks for giving every one the information about the Protein Powder. What I liked the most about it was that it totally dissolved, no residue , no grit, and taste good too. Sky: 47 pounds wow. That is amazing. When have you ever lost that much weight in that short of time before. What was that 3 weeks? And just think it wont ever be back. I bet you are noticing a change in the way your clothes are fitting arent you? Did you see Melissa's post about the protein powder? I also sent you an email about it. It really is good. Are you using protein drinks to get in all your protein? This stuff is really good. Linda: sounds like you had a really good time on your week end trip to the park. All those old cars sound interesting as does your Brothers corn grinding. Im so sorry that your mother has Alzehimers that is a horrible illness. Glad you got to see your parents this week end tho. Does your dad take care of your mother or is she in a nursing home? That is hard on the spouse to have to take care of the other one with the illness. Great that you can notice some difference since going to curves. Keep up the good work. I heard from Craig last night . He said that when he tries to post on here that it gives him an error message from Microsoft and then cuts him off. Any computer whizes out there that can maybe help him out? Benny is still sick and doesn't seem to be getting better. We all need to pray for him that he gets better soon.

Good morning, Jan, Thank you so much for the info on the protein. I'll give my list to my sister-in-law in Springfield and have her shop for me. My mom is in a nursing home now, but my dad took care of her for about 5 years. He changed diapers and bathed her every day. She eventually got to the point that she couldn't walk so he had to put her in a nursing home. He goes every day and feeds her supper. Every Sunday he takes her out for a ride someplace. She can't talk, but she does recognize his voice and grins from ear to ear when she hears it. I sure miss her a bunch. She was my very best friend in the whole world. She was 17 when I was born and we became like sisters. We went everywhere together--even to sale barns to buy "bottle calves" to raise. We would act so silly when we got together. She would be very happy for me if she new about my upcoming surgery. She was my greatest supporter. Hope everyone has a great day today. I'm leaving in a few to go exercise. It seems to start my day off on the right foot! God bless you all... Linda

Good Morning Hmmmmm??? I dont know what to think. My DH is ready to disown me tho. lol I dont know if it was just casue we got up early for the garage sale or from the weight loss. But I cant sleep past 7am anymore. Now I know we have alot of EARLY birds here on this board. But usually were not in bed until 1 or 2 AM. Not me anymore by 9pm I am ready to call it quits. And I do too I just go crawl into bed and out I go. I kind of like it it gives me some quite time before the rush of the day coming rushing in. (P.S.> No DH isnt ready to get rid of me he just wants to sleep in more.) LOL Jan: I dont know if they have more then one Food 4 Less in Springfield or not. I believe Wayne told me just 1 and it is on Battlefield North of the Mall. Did you try the other one I sent you also?? Benny: I am sorry you still not feeling well. If there is anything I can do please give me a call. Sky: WOW Girl you are doing so great!!!! Keep up the good work and share with us how your going it!!! Carol: If you keep getting any more animals we gonna have to start calling you Captain Carol Roo (was a tv show from my childhood) Linda: Glad to know you had a good time while you was gone. My Aunt also has Alzehimers and I totally understand what it does to a person. Your in my thoughts and prayers. Wayne: Hey Buddy where are you??? Do we need to send out a search party looking for you?? How was your weekend and what is going on with you?? Please come back to the boards!!! We all miss you!!! Craig: I hope you got your bug worked out with your computer. We miss you also when your not on the boards. Nana Linda: I am looking foward to July to finally see you!!! Congrats on your 1 yr anniversary coming up in July!!!! Elizabeth: How have you been I havent seen you posting in awhile. Robyn: Have you found out anymore on Doctors that accept your insurance??

I am going to run errands and move some furniture around the house. Then get into the pool to exercise and layout!! Love ya Melissa

Melissa, I think after surgery, ones system is messed up. I remember when I got tired, I could not fight it, I had to go to bed. And I slept so well and woke up early and could not sleep late either. I still have a tendency to get up early - only once in a while do I have to get some extra rest and I am an old granny. LOL Colette

I'm still around. My DH and I went to church yesterday. We had a big dinner at church. Wore me out, so I went to bed as soon as I got home!! Brenda

Melissa I am doing alot better went to the er again and they gave me stronger meds atibiotics called vantin 200mg some codiclear hydrocodone cough syrup and an inhailer. this is the next morning after er and im up eary again , finealy wow seems like i been in beed for a month, and just a little cough and a little sinus congestion , but in general have lots of enegery back and ready for my surgery again lol , wow what a month huh, i asked Jan to send me some info for vitamins and supluments , maybe you could too im lost on what all i need i need to start getting ahead on them , im sure they not cheep , love ya love your friend ben

Melissa, I am doing good, i havent had a smoke since the day my doc called.. Honestly I cant remember if that was the 8th or the 9th.. And I dont feel like I even want one. My DH will walk bye with one and I will smell it and just get sick to my stomach. I still have the head craves for it though.. Sit down at the puter and want to light one up.. habbits ya know.. I talked my doctor this morning and my insurance.. Cigna says it is still in medical review. She told me it doesnt matter how many times I call it wont make them go any faster. I told her.. Well in my mind the more I bug you the faster things will get done and I know you are staying on track. She laughed at me. Hope everyone is doing well I posted a couple of links for you your protien Whey that I found.. I found it in 3lb 5lb and 10 lbs. pretty cool! As soon as Cigna tells me yes I am going to start ordering it. Take care everyone and Good Luck and God Bless, Jai

Hi everyone. I have been busy but doing pretty good. This new pacemaker sure is giving me lots of energy which is wonderful. I worked a twelve hour shift Wednesday and a ten hour shift yesterday, I was tired but before the pacemaker I would have been down for a week if I had just tried to work that much. My garden is starting to come in too. I had a few grape tomatoes yesterday and some big tomatoes are getting ripe too as is my peppers and squash. I sure like those fresh veggies. The puppies are all doing great. I have eleven little boogers. Six of them should open their eyes this week. The mama dogs are taking real good care of them. When the start running around the house I sure will have to watch where I step so I dont step on them. My wife and I go to see our gastric bypass surgeon tommorrow. It is nice to go see him he is more like a friend than a doctor. I have lost some weight since my last visist six months ago. My wife has lost some also so he will be pleased with us. I saw two great show this weekend too. I had free passes to Dick Clarks American Bandstand Theatre and saw the original Comets of Bill Haley and the comets and I also saw Paul Revere and the Raider and Bill Medley of the Richeous Brothers. The shows were awesome. I had a real good time. Hope everyone is doing ok.

good morning everyone, Well it looks like a rainy day here- hope it does rain as we need it. the garden needs it. Nothing like the rain water from heaven. Had a great weekend. Had a relaxing day yesterday with my daughter and 2 children (they came for lunch with DH for fathers day). Even brought the lunch of chicken enchiladeas and salad and cookies and sugar free muffins. Very good. Plan on doing some cleaning today and going to get some calcium pills. Hope everyone has a great day. Sky - great weight loss!!!! I am sorta at a stand still right now. Guess body is taking a rest. I am going to motivate it with more exercise. Wish I had a pool Melissa! Your flowers are beautiful Jan. Colette

Jan, I just ordered the protein you all were talking about from the following website: http://www.supplementwarehouse.com/brand.asp?brand=180&Criteria=100%25+whey You can order in 1# sizes, 2#, 5# or 10#. The 1# of Chocolate I ordered was $8.69 (I think), the 2# Cookies & Cream and Rocky Road was $15.09 each. There are other flavors, too, including a Tropical Punch. I just thought this might be something you all were interested in. The shipping to me was under $10.00 for UPS ground. Linda
