WHATS HAPPENIG THURSDAY

We went and had our weekly massages yesterday. Sure do feel good. I had a different massage lady as the one that I have been having had a table fall on her head and caused her to black out. They had her lying down in back and then too her to have an MRI done since she was nauseated and dizzy. I hope she is ok. She is an excellent massage person. This is at the Soma School where we go their treatments are a lot cheaper than normal and they are really good. I haven't been sleeping well at night so I bought some melatonin at wal mart I sure hope it helps. Has any of you ever tried it? I tried on jeans at wal mart too. Was able to get into a 12 Levis. I didn't buy any because I want to get into smaller than that and won't pay 20 dollars for something that I might not wear for very long. Well today is Gretta's day. Good luck girl Hope everything goes well for you. We will be waiting for word on you honey. Diana: boy doesn't that just irk you big time about how some people handle jobs and the interviews that are suppose to be interviews and aren't. Well how did your new haircut and color turn out? I am going to have to get mine cut and colored soon too. Mine is falling out by the handfuls too. I think someone told me that about 8 or 9 months it stops falling out. Not sure that is true but that is what I have been told. LOL I don't mind the time and effort to do this post. In fact I love doing it. Time I have more than enough of, advise I am full of it lol not always sure it is all that great. But I do love to help others. So my intentions are always good anyway. Debbie M: so are you staying in Sedalia this evening? Or when. All will go well. No problems and on the 26th you will undergo your procedure and you will be on your way. I sure hope you can find a work at home project to make money at. I just don't see that there should be a charge for info you will be giving to get the job. Andrew: well glad that you finally got the computer all straightened out. Hey that is great that you found a workout place. Wish we had one close. But you and Susan take advantage of it and get some more weight off. Tell Susan hi and has she found out what the test said on Monday? That is great about the meeting on Tuesday. I just know that you will be getting more and more people all the time. Were the other two ladies that were there, looking for information on the surgery or has had surgery or what? Sherr: well look at you and your skinny body. You are looking good. That is a recent picture huh? That is great about the whey protein being ok in hot coffee. I may try some this morning. How much did you put in a cup full? Another way to use the protein is a great thing. I have been pretty faithful about my protein and my hair is still falling out so don't know if lack of protein is what causes that or not. But have been told by different ones that by the time you notice it falling out it has already started growing back but is so short that you wouldn't know it. Well I always wished my hair was thinner but not real sure now. You know like they say, be careful what you wish for... Your problem, I really don't know the answer to that. It probably has to do with hormones being released from the fat cells that are going away. I have heard that is a theory. If it continues you might want to talk to your PCP. Colette: So sorry to hear about Mel's brother and Mel's bad health too. That is a long trip to drive if one is sick. And im not sure about flying with him being sick too. I know it feels like it is almost mandatory that you go. You have to do what you have to do to take care of Mel too. We will keep you in our prayers that God will give you the answers you need. Don't take any chances. Don't forget the winter storms that are coming in this week end up north. Well I went to bed at 9pm last night and woke up at 12:30 so thought I would do this piece and maybe get sleepy again. So far no such luck. We are supposed to go to Fayetteville, Ark today sometime and be gone for a couple of days. The friends we are visiting have a computer and I will keep up the thread if at all possible. Hope the weekend weather doesn't change our plans too much. We were going to go to Murfreesboro and dig for Diamonds but if it rains like they said I don't imagine we will. Will let you all know tomorrow on my post what is what. LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS JAN

Yep, up at 2:30 agin this morning. Geez, this is getting old. I sent out two resumes yesterday, and am sending out three more. In fact, just put them in envelopes. Please, calling all of the prayer warriors out there, ask God to show me the way soon. Sunday, I am going to check out the work from home opportunities, thanks for the info Deb. I have been stalled in weight loss for 2 weeks again. I am trying something different this week. I am eating strictly protein foods and drinking strictly protein drinks and water. Yep, it got the scale to move. Last 2 weeks, stalled at 218, now 213. I know I shouldn't calculate from my scale because it isn't accurate, but I just can't help it. A 213, I am down 92 pounds, in a size 16. Doesn anyone know, what size will a large framed 5'5" 150 pound person be? I am guessing a 10? Oh to wear a size 10. I jumped from a child's 12 to a Misses 14 at age 12. I skipped lots of sizes! Going to the RV and Travel show in STL this Saturday with relatives. It will give my husband and I something to do to get out of the house. We are such homebodies.... Well, I think I am am going to try to go back to sleep for a few hours. Thanks for all of the posting responses and good wishes. Jan, bring me back a half carat diamond in the rough, OK? ~Diana~

Hey Diane..... Great job on your weight loss "jolt" YOU GO GRRL! Have you listed your resume on monster.com and hotjobs.com? There, you won't have to mail your resumes out, they will be there for companies to see....OR you can put it on there confidentially, and you will be able to send it to whomever you want to see it, only. Good Luck! Sherr

HI MOMMA! Okay, so everyone knows I am a DORK....but this just PROVES IT. I had both Vanilla Protein Powder AND Coffeemate Creamer powder in zip lock bags, from when I stayed at the hotel in Columbia last. Yesterday, I grabbed the creamer (((by accident)))) and made my coffee, thinking it was the Protein Powder. DAHHHHHH....today, I made a coffee w/ the Protein Powder, and it DID CLUMP, and it did NOT taste anywhere NEAR as good as yesterday....LOL!!!!!! That pic of me was taken on Tuesday of this week....it's VERY recent. I thought being at 3+ months out, I was clear of the hair loss, but I have just learned that it could start as late as 6 months out. That would devistate me. You guys must know that I am a brain tumor survivor and I have had brain and various surgeries totally about 10 major surgeries, so I HAVE lost my hair before, but this time, I thought if I did what I supposed to do, I'd be okay. Signing off... Dork that thinks creamer is actually protein powder.... Sherr

OK Sherr, here's what I did with the hot de-caf and protein powder. I made a cup of hot instant de-caf, then in my blender I put milk & protein powder. Blended the milk and powder then poured together with the hot coffee and put in microwave for a few seconds. It didn't clump and tasted pretty good. I'm going to try it with unflavored protein powder as I'm having trouble with every drink being sweet. Right now sweet isn't where it's at for me. So, even if you used the wrong powder you inspired me to try it and I got it to work. Thanks. Lana

Jan, If I could get into a size 12 Levi's you'd hear me yellin clear down to your place. Actually, though, I'm not losing in my belly yet. Think it seems still swollen from surgery. I have taken Melatonin and thought it helped but need to start again as I'm having trouble sleeping through the night. I've always taken Ambien and loved it but now with our absorption issues I only get about four hours instead of eight. Dr. said try the timed release but that doesn't seem to help at all. I see him tomorrow so I'll get some insight. But, he initially recommended Melatonin so I know it won't hurt you. Hope you get to go to the diamond digging place. You are such a dirt digger you'll probably find a 10 carat one. I hope so!!! My little Momma, who loved diamonds so much, always wanted to go there and never did get to. She was just sure she could find a diamond. We want to go to KC for the day over the three day weekend but will have to let the weather be our guide. No biggie except John has a shirt to exchange at Nordstrom and it would be a nice little outing for us. We are car-trip fools. Love and hugs to all Lana

Hi Jan, I would ask you to bring me a couple of carats but my luck they would be ORANGE! I hope you get to go and have a good time. Julia

Hi Jan, we're STILL debating on WHEN to go to Sedalia. Either way, I will be there for my assessment in the morning! Have fun with those diamonds!....lol at Julia...orange carats! ...your too cute! C O N G R A D U L A T I O N S!!! to VESTA, MARILYN and GRETTA!!! You are all LOSERS!!! I love that I can say that and not get in trouble....LOL Seriously, I'm so proud of all you guys. We will keep the prayers going for fast healings, strength and the courage to get through all that you might face in the next fews weeks! Am I next? There has to be more, yes? I can't be the next loser...already? lol, oh well!! Love & Prayers, Deb M.
