WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY

Well I see by the board and by my email and from the phone calls I got from several of you that all h-** broke lose over the week end. I really was sorry to hear about all of the trauma and hubbub that went on but out of Ashes God will provide the new . Glenna thank you for stepping up to the place to be the leader.

And I think it is a wonderful idea that Jean and Tammy have come up with another group that will meet 2 times a month. That way maybe everyone can get to at least a couple of meetings a month. Wonderful. I myself am one that really likes the meetings and will I know attend at least one of Tammy and Jeans  a month plus the COF meeting.

And if I need another meeting during the month there will be one within a couple of weeks at the most. I think it is great.

 

I want and hope that everyone that has been affected by all of this mess that happened this week end will be happy that it is all over and give Glenna our full support as we all should be very appreciative of her and her willingness to step up and become the new leader of the COF group.

 

LANA : Thank you for the support and the help this past Sunday when I was away from home, I am so happy that you called me and made me aware of what was going on.Thank you and also for being willing to help us get some calmness going .

 

TRACI: Thanks for being worried about where I was. That was very sweet of you.

 

We spent this past Sunday all day till about 9pm moving my daughter(Teresa) from Shell Knob , Mo to Rogers Ark, Took us lot longer than we thought and were so tired that when we got done we decided to crash   at her new apartment instead of driving the 154 miles home. It was a very long long day.

 

JANET: tell your sweet daughter I said thank you very very much for the relay of messages. That was very sweet of her and she even thanks me for the little wedding gift I sent them. I hope I didn’t come off as too rushed and hurried but I had two more people on hold on the phone plus everything else. Lol Love you and your family sweetie.

Im glad that you got to visit with your friend and oh yeah thanks for the pictures they were really good and I love the look on your face when you were touching the snake, that was priceless. Lol Love it

How is Steph doing? I continue to pray for her.

 

 

 

BOBBY JO: lol I loved your story about your 12 year old. Sometimes we just have to let them think they are doing something on their own don’t we? Lol Glad she had a good enough head on her shoulders to know which side her bread was buttered on . lol

Hey great going on writing , I asways wanted to write my story but don’t know how to start lol  Im afraid it wouldn’t be a Childrens story tho.

I sure hope you all come to Branson next week end would love to meet you . Im off all week end so if you get down holler ok?

 

 

SUSAN: You are welcome Sweetie, there are a lot of people that have kicked those stupid pills and you can too. All it takes is God and as we all know he is always there , always on our side , he will give you strength that you didn’t know you had even. So hang tough it will get over soon. Just keep clipping along.

Know that I and probably several others are praying for you daily.

 

 

BRENDA: I know what you mean about buying food, seems I think Joe should eat like I do and then we wouldn’t have to spend much on food at all if any. Lol. I would rather have my protein shakes and protein bars than food any day.

Brenda maybe the time wasn’t right for the support group last year. Maybe there would be more call for it now. By the way do you ever hear from Andrew? Usually the people that use to be on the board all the time still email me once in awhile but he just stopped completely nothing  noted whatsoever.

 

 

GLENDA: So glad that you came in to post on the whats happening post. That is great.

Im so proud of you that you stepped up to take the reins , so to speak.

You bet home is one of the best places in the world to return to , even after a great vacation it is still always good to get home.

Thank you for the compliments and I do love the meetings and love everyone there  and hope that the COF meetings can continue for a long long time.

 

 

 

BEVERLY  B: hey so good to see you girl. Sorry to hear about all the problems with your grandbabies. Wow. That is really bad. All three of them ..

Congratulations on getting things all lined up for your surgery. I hope that after surgery your pain will be like mine and so much more manageable. I sure does help a lot to not hurt all the time.

It would be wonderful if you could come down and visit one of our meetings someday. We really do have fun at them.

 

Morning everyone It's good to hear about the COF staying and a new group starting, plus the men's only group and all the other groups around the state.  That's pretty awesome!  Hopefully I can get my labs straightened out and myself feeling better enough to think about leading a group myself.  I know I can't do it now - but hopefully soon.  We need one badly in the Crawford/Franklin county area.  We have NONE.  If anyone is in the Crawford/Franklin county area and would be interested in joining a group (better yet, helping me lead one! ), message me through OH. Today is going to be fairly busy for me, even though I woke up with a migraine.  My migraine meds are kicking in - and all that really does is make me tired.  I have too much to do to be tired - so I need to try and push through and get something done.  You all have a great day! 

Good Morning Jan and OH board   am starting 4th day of slim fast and its boring lol...been peeing so many times lol...........

Good Morning Jan and OH Peeps~ ~~~HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN~~~ I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy yourself~May you be blessed today and walways!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope this Tues finds you all well. Happy and Healthy too. We have so much going on with our members. Just know, I am praying for you ALL...Sheila-to have strength with your liquid diet, Bev-for strength and healing for all the situations with you and your family. My heart goes out to all of you! Yesterday was a bad tummy day again. Between that and those dang dogs that are driving me freaking mad! Now, since they arent penned together, they THINK they are gonna sit out there and bark at one another since they can see each other-and I HATE A BARKING DOG! When its non-stop like that.  My throat is sore from yelling at them both through the window, and then of course-they made me go out there a couple of times......Im sure they are thinking Im a raving lunatic! I checked with our vet this morning-Dozer is going to cost over $200 to be fixed because of his size AND because he is mean, we have to put a deal on his face, but they said I could use theirs (I dont have one) when we get there. It will have to be on Saturday I guess-as Mike will have to handle Dozer, I cant. He is too powerful and big-actually, he is too big for Mike too-but he minds Mike in the snap of a finger. He WILL mind me too-but its usually after Ive been tossed to the ground or smacked him on the snout. I love both of those dogs so much, I just cant think of getting rid of them. Since their pen is about an acre of land fenced-I think we may just buy enough fencing to go right through the middle and they will each have their own acreage AND house, bowls etc. I dont want to have Sebastian fixed, because our friend Jason, would like to breed his female with him-and we either get money for the studding OR can pick a pup. We will be taking the money, thank you-because we sure dont need or want another pup-unless something happens to Dozer-and I hope we have years and years before that happens. Got a call late last night asking if I could work today-so after I get done with this post, Jon and I are off. He gets to go with me today and then Megan is going to come and get him after her class. They are going to rent a couple of movies, go to the park, go to McDonalds-then he gets to come back and take a bubble bath at my moms place. He loves that-and we dont have a tub. So-he will have fun and I will make some moola! So, I am gonna wrap this up and get out of here. Have to get some meat out of the freezer first though. **Jan-Im glad you liked the pics. The other 2 that show me-my face looks even worse. Can you imagine? I just couldnt let her head be on me, so Harry was holding her head. I guess my next goal will to be to hold her like Darrel did-but Im so afraid of being bit. Darrel held her-and then asked for one-are you freaking nuts? Thats NOT going to happen IN MY LIFETIME... NO snakes, nothing creepy or crawly in the house!! NO way, NO how! So then you saw the pics with Wally. Aaron weighs 315# and is sitting next to Wally and looks small. I am so worried that he wont get the surgery done in time. Please join me in praying for him. I appreciate it. It makes me cry when ever I sit and think at where he is-and its just like where I was-whether he weighs more than I did at my heaviest or not- its very hard to watch and I spent a lot of time while he was here alone-crying, because of our talks and what he told me. He did too. I know exactly how he feels and I want him to feel as good as me. Even with the back issues, knees and hips-I can and did get around better than Wally did. It makes my heart break. **Bev-Im so sorry to hear about everything going on. Im so sorry that your little grandaughter got attacked. How awful for her. How scary. I hope your nephew puts that dog down, Im sorry, but if it bit my kid that way-he would have two choices, he have it put to sleep-or I do it myself. That dog is going to kill a little kid-and your nephew should get his ass kicked for making a dog like that. My daughters best friend in 4th grade got attacked by a pit bull in Joplin-it broke off its chain and it took a crew of electricians to break that dog off Mary Ann and she was hospitalized for over a month and is in 11th grade now, and still has problems. She had thousands of stitches and many reconstructive surgeries for her face and neck. You will all be in my prayers. **Glenna-what can I say to you? Thank you for keeping the group going and IF I can do ANYTHING for you, please let me know. I dont know HOW I can help, but I would do anything for you. Love you! Well, I am out of here. Long day ahead. I am thinking and praying for all of you. Take care, Love-Janet

Good morning OH family!  It's beautifuly outside today a little cool but that's ok with me.   I can't believe it tomorrow is the day!  My first appt. with Dr. H and I'm so excited.  It seems like I have waited so long for this day and now it's finally here.  I am nervous but I don't know why really?  I guess I just want everything to go smoothly and not run into any road blocks if you know what I mean?  I have to get my questions all typed up and ready to go.  I have a lot going on this week, we have out of town guest coming probably Thurs. then Sat. is my puppies birthday party so I'm going to be busy this week trying to prepare for these two things.   We had my dog's funeral Sat. at the pet cemetery.  It was a nice service and the poem they read called "Rainbow Bridge" made me cry.  She looked very peaceful and no longer in discomfort so that was good.  After the service we walked around the cemetery and it was a good feeling because by the looks of the graves you could tell that there were a lot of people that must have really loved their beloved pets.   I haven't been able to go to water aerobics for a while now and I sure do miss it, but with everything that has been going on in my life recently I just haven't been able to go.  I hope things calm down soon and I can get back into a routine again.  Debbie and I talked the other night and we both are planning on going back to  our class on Fri. morning.   I went to see my dietician Fri. and I only lost one pound in 4 weeks so that was bad well at least I didn't gain which is what I was afraid of.  I had her fax her reports to Dr. H Friday so that he will have all that when I go to my appt. tomorrow.  I have a question!  Every since I had my gallbladder out in 1999 I have had stomach issues like I will have to run to the bathroom about 20 min. after I eat.  I was wondering is this going to get worse once I have my surgery?  I have heard that a lot of people have a problems with diarrhea after they have wls?  Just curious didn't know if others have experienced the same thing? Well, I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday and enjoy the beautiful weather. Bev~

Hello Missouri Friends, Just poppin in really quick to say hi!  My stomach hurt me most of the night last night so I didnt get much sleep.  I have a lot of crap happening here again, (go figure)!  I think it is my ulsers acting up again because of the stress.  Not sure because I am still taking my prilosec (sp) 2 in morning and 2 at night so not sure, but started drinking the nasty pink prescription stuff again trying to stay on top of it.  I am going to try a get the money together to fly down to Tulsa this weekend and see Rory.  He should be done with all his hours of training and driving so they will give him his truck the first part of next week I hope.  Everyone take care.  Sorry I couldnt comment to some of you personally, but hope asap. Love Always, Susan

Hello Everyone, Just going to say Hi. I have been busy today trying to catch up on my laundry  and housework, being off my feet has gotten me behind. Jan - I hope you are getting over moving your daughter, that can be a very tiring job. Janet - I hope you get the problem solved with your fur babies. I am praying for your friend that he makes the  decision to have WLS. I don't understand his wife? If she truly  loves him she would want him to have it done and have a better quality of life and ultimately a longer marriage.

I loved the pictures you sent me of you and your family. You look great and have a good looking family. I couldn't believe you touched that snake!! I couldn't have done it!!!! Bev - I pray your birthday party for your fur babies is a great one! I pray every else had a great day! Well i'm going to get ready to watch Dancing with the Stars. I hope the ones I'm rooting for will not be going home tonight. TTYL Brenda
