Its Wednesday and Im doing the thread again!!!!!
Good job Carla. My black car looks white from all the salt. Want to come and help me clean it?
Actually, I was just informed that my car is temporarily off the road. Last week Rich put a new timing chain in it but the troubles continued. He thinks I have a cracked head - rather the car does, not me.
Margo - good to see you, although briefly.
Susan - yeah, me too. it is getting nasty around here
Mickey - my appetite has become strange lately too.
Monica - big hugs
And now my CRS has kicked in and I can't recall what else was written.

Morning Carla,
How about sending me some of that energy? We've got so many things going on, I'm exhausted just thinking about it. I haven't had a chance to get on here and see what's going on, and after 5 minutes of reading, I guess that's a good thing. Thought I was on the main board instead of the friendly OFF board.
Brenda and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day. The place where we play Bingo had a special mass and Renewal of Wedding Vows and then steak dinner. There were about 30 couples that renewed their vows and it was very nice.
Have a safe road trip and I'll chat with you online one of these nights again. I always enjoy our chat time.

Hi Carla and my OFF family:
Now this sounds more like my old friend who is the Energizer bunny ... just don't overdo it, honey! You always did have more energy than I did. Glad to see you're enjoying life again.
It's rainy and dreary out ... this is supposed to change to snow and it's supposed to get windy and colder this afternoon. Winter's back. You know it would return.
I have PT this morning. I hope I don't come home in pain again. Monday, I was in pain all day after PT. Yesterday was OK and I was able to function at work. I had to post the food stuff and the recipes. That went OK, although the blog where I was supposed to post the recipes didn't have a button for a new entry. Kate said there was probably something with my log-in that needed to be added. But it really didn't take me that long. I'm glad to do extra things; I really need more to do now that I don't have that many pages.
I've been reading "Team of Rivals," by Doris Kearns Goodwin, about Lincoln and his Cabinet. It's almost written like a novel ... it's an example of how history books can be interesting. It reminds me of Stephen Ambrose's books, so interesting you don't want to put them down. I was reading it, getting sleepy, so I put it down to go to sleep ... got up a half hour later and couldn't get back to sleep, so I got back up and read til 2:30 or so. Then I had to get up at 7. I hope I can get a nap this afternoon.
Susan, please stick around. I really hate that the turmoil on the board over a box has alienated so many people. It's why I didn't get involved (one of the reasons) with the Forever Box and the Mystery Box ... the other was the cost of postage, but I just knew it was going to be problematic and I didn't want to be a part of it. Nothing against Darlene, just didn't want to get involved. There are hurt feelings over this thing and it's stupid. We all need to respect each other. If you don't like someone, just, as Archie Bunker would say, "stifle." Don't say anything. Sometimes when I'm angry with someone, I write a letter but then don't send it. I just get my emotions out there and delete it. I don't feel it's necessary to hurt feelings, because I know how it feels too often to be hurt.
Well, that's enough of my soapbox. I guess I should think about getting ready for PT ... yuck! I know it's necessary to get stronger and healthier, but I wish I didn't hurt so much after. I'm going to go to the chiropractor afterward.
Have a good day.

Hey Eileen,
It's not about the box, which ever one, or secret pals or any thing like that. It's the general tone of the board that has changed. It's like there's an underlying tension all the time! People are afraid to say anything in fear of what could come back at them. Personally, I have to put on that happy face everyday in my job. I don't want to be nervous or censor what I say among friends. This should be a place of comfort, not stress
Hope the PT helps. Enjoy your book!
Hugs

Good morning Carla and everyone...
Carla....I always think I have a lot of energy until I read your posts....you just keep going and going and going. Good for you!
Pat R......the further out we get the harder this seems to be. My weight goes up and down too. I have 3 pounds that just won't leave no matter what I do...UGH!!!
I have to agree.....this board isn't as fun as it used to be.
I hope things get back to normal again real soon! This board has always been the best board OH has to offer...remember??
Not to much happening in my world today...I guess that is a good thing. Dwayne's mother is being honored in a special ceremony today. She is Volunteer of the Year for the State of Minnesota. We are so proud of her. What a great lady!! After the ceremony the immediate family....and me too....are invited to a special dinner. I am honored to be a part of this celebration.
I best get back to work. Prayers to those in need.
Love and hugs to all......connie d

Hey Carla- Sure you didn't get your B12 injection recently? That is when I usually go on a manic energy trip. I wish I had that feeling more often.
I hope everyone is well. I am also in need of a fresh start with my weight loss. I am still wearing the same size, but I can tell the clothes are tighter. I have had too much emotional eating since last October. I need to get back to basics. I especially need to keep any snack at all out of sight. I see it and eat it.
LP is getting so big. He is 14 months old now. He crawl everywhere and babbles constantly. I will post a new picture of him soon. I am at work and I can't access any of my pictures until I am at home.
Love to everyone!!!!!

The love of my OH Family has me humbled!!!!
Good Afternoon Carla and OFFr's,
Great to see you with all this energy, but as has been said, please don't overdo, but glad to see you enjoying the time you are not working.
Today has me back at work, nothing too much happening here, amazing that I have so much happening in my personal life, but here is relatively quiet, probably a blessing this way.
I do have my support group meeting this evening, though it will largely depend on what sort of precipitation is falling as to whether I attend or not, as there is a possibility of bad weather this evening and if there is even the possibility of icy roads, you won't find me on them. . .
Well I guess that's about it, hope you all have a wonderful day!
Prayers, positive thoughts and hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Good afternoon Carla & all. Carla I am happy you are doing better, but please listen to all of us & don't overdo!
I had my follow up appt. with the Urologist & I am ok. I have to save my urine for 24 hrs. & send a sample to Chicago. Then I go back in 3 mos. He wants me to take less calcium, but not stop altogether.
Susan, I hope things get better. We sure would miss you.
On a good note, I got my puppy today. I will post pictures of all 3 dogs when I get home. I forgot my camera.
Pat I wish I knew what to tell you. I was having the same problem, then I got kidney stones. I've had 3 surgerys since Dec. & dropped 20#. I don't suggest doing that, not worth it!

Hi Carla and Friends,
We're going to have to rename you the Energizer Bunny! So glad that you're starting to feel like your old self.
I'm just going to keep using OFF like I always have. I love coming here and seeing what is going on in peoples' lives. I love having a place to bring questions and to give and get support.
I love sharing successes and following the excitement of those new to this livesaving surgery. OFF has widened my world in many ways. It doesn't take the place of my family and friends; it just enriches it.
I will take what I like and leave the rest. Life is just too short to sweat the small stuff and as the saying goes: most of it is small stuff!
You all have a great day. I intend to.

Hi Carla and everyone who is looking! I knew that you'd start feeling better Carla...it just takes a while to get past the tiredness of radiation as well as the emotional upheaval that cancer always brings.
As far as the uproar on the OFF- this little "family" has lots of issues. Of course we do- it goes with the territory. Let's just try to be kind, listen to complaints with an open heart, and go on with our own lives. I think we should feel free to say what we feel as long as we don't attack each other. Occasionally anger may get the better of one of us and the feelings will be hurt. It doesn't have to be the end of the relationship.
I have a dental appointment after work today- OH JOY.... it's just me regular cleaning appointment...other than that I'm just plugging along, trying to maintain my weight. I can relate to Pat's post- I'm with you Pat. I have started to struggle too.
