WHAT'S NEW?? IT'S TUESDAY!!!

Thanks, very much, Annette, I hope I can continue to keep this pace.  I did fine again today so -- two days and success!  I'll take it.   Yes, it's alot of time in the bathroom, that's for sure.  It'll be better I suspect when I can move to thicker liquids and then........ food!  Kathi

Good Morning Janet and everyone........ Nothing much happening here. Still cloudy and cool. I am seriously thinking of going tanning. The darn sun is never shining more then a day a week and I hate being so white!! My light work day yesterday ended up being 8.5 hours long....UGH!!! Maybe today will be better!! Nic is at Cancer Camp. He looks forward to it every year. He has such a great time! I am so happy for him. He needs the break! Grace is looking all over for him. She is missing him already. Kyleigh, Amanda and Lucas are doing great. They are coming up for a few days at the end of the month. I miss them!! My life would be so empty without my granchildren. They are my world!! I went to pick up vitamins and calcium yesterday....wow have they gone up in price!!! I guess it doesn't matter I have to have them. Groceries are getting rediculously high too.....and then the gas prices....I won't even go there!! Margo ......I am still sending up prayers for your granny. Glad to hear she is doing better. Cheryl ......I hope you get in to get that testing done as soon as possible. I am sure an ulcer or bad gallbladder is very painful. The sooner it is taken care of the better it will be for you!! Prayer continue for you too. Love and hugs to all.....connie d

Welcome to OFF, Janelle. You have come to the right place.  Sorry for your loss. I know it is hard since my mom became a widow at the age of 49 and my sister at the age of 50. Please accept my sympathies to you.  Please post often and let us get to know you and you in turn will get to know us. We are quite a group here that is for sure.

Good Morning All! I worked late last nite, had to travel several hours away to fill in...it was stressful but had a blessing on the way home. While traveling through a forrest preserve, a tina deer fawn walked out of the woods...it was sooo cute..golden brown with white spots freckled all over it's back. It looked at my car and jumped back into the woods. Eventhough is was a short viewing, it made my day. It was so innocent and cute. When I travel near dusk, I always have to watch out for deer, but this one was welcomed. I didn't see it's mom but I'm sure she seen me. Put everything back into perspective. Have to see my Nut. today, 2nd visit out of 6 needed for my insurance co to approve me. I ate some jerky on my ride home yesterday and I can feel the fluid retention in my fingers, etc. Does anyone have a good recipe for Jerky that doesn;t have all the sodium? Have a great day everyone!! Alice
