| IT'S SO HOT AND DRY in Alabama...... ....the birds have to use potholders to pull the worms out of the ground. ....the trees are whistling for the dogs. ....the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance ....ho****er comes from both taps. ....you can make sun tea instantly ....you learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron. ....the temperature drops below 95 F (35 C) and you feel a little chilly. ....you discover that in July it only takes two fingers to steer your car. ....you discover that you can get sunburned through your car window. ....you actually burn your hand opening the car door. ....you break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 A.M. ....your biggest motorcycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death"? ....you realize that asphalt has a liquid stage. ....the potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter. ....the cows are giving evaporated milk. ....farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs IT'S SO DRY IN Alabama That the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling, The Methodists are using wet-wipes, Presbyterians are giving rain checks.... |

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Good morning Shirley and OFF family to post later.
Whhoooooo!! I worked out in the pool at the gym with BFF doing deep water, my legs and arms feel it today I tell ya...but it's a great feeling, got a lot of stress out so what a benefit for me to push myself! LOL
So hopefully I will be starting my new job on the Psych unit Aug. 14th, still waiting to hear from the HR department...new challenges lie ahead for me and I'm embracing change and excitement. I will have to turn my body around a little and not wake up at 5am. Guess it is all ready working cuz my hubby woke me up at 5:45 am...guess that deep water workout really relaxed me! LOL
So Saturday is our Bariatric Support group meeting. I'm going to try to go to it but hate spending money on gas but heck I'm worth it right? LOL
I like supporting the newbies but really they need to make another group for graduates...but then again newbies can learn from us too. Share the knowledge all around!
I have a follow up apt. today with my internist. I have pain and its just from the adhesion's and really they can't do anything except surgery to remove them and I have to have open surgery to do this so I'm holding off hopefully for another 5 years. Every time they open me up it's just more adhesion's. Some people make kidney stones...I make adhesion's! Go figure! LOL
Gotta keep a sense of humor about it cuz ain't nothing gonna change what my body does. So I will just keep thinking positive and work out in the pool.
When I get on the 3-11 shift I'm going to take Zumba at the gym twice a week and do the Butts and Gutts class twice a week. I have plans and it's to move more! Then after class I will even have time to go into the pool and work out, then on to work. Exercise energizes me then hopefully when I get home I will just crawl into bed and snuggle my hubby!
Hugs and prayers for all in need especially Connie and Trish, good mojo coming your way girls!
Monica so proud of you being sober and Laureen you too...I think we have a great group of strong women on this forum, we support each other and keep on keeping on. Hugs Debbie

Good mornin', ya'll.
Yep, Shirley, that's HOT. Cute.
Soon I will be calling the doc. My back has been bothering me for some time. Well, since my trip north. You know how you bend/twist and pain shoots up your back? Well, it would start to do that, but not stay. I figured it was sitting hours in the car and sleeping in strange beds and not doing my walking. So, I was sure when I got home it would end. Nope! Yesterday morning, bent and twisted, pain shot up my back and remained!! Tried every pain pill I had in the cabinet from various surgeries (not all at once). Tried heat, tried cold. Tried sittimg, lying, walking! Thought I had no muscle relaxers. Found one Mobic and tried it before bed. Well, I slept well. BUT every time I got up to 'go' or rolled over the pain shot right up again. Now the pain is constant. I don't wanna take anything til I find out when I can get in to see the doc!
My Sis called, she and her DH are supposed to be on a Mediterranian Diet. She hates it! When she got up this morning she found evidence that her DH had been up in the night and had a PB&J! Now she is livid that she has been trying so hard and he is not. She admits that the easiest she ever had loosing weight was when she counted calories. I'm not sure why she isn't using that approach this time. I wish I could help her. All I can do is listen!
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

Hey grammy
Get that back checked out ..constant pain is not a good thing and means something isnt right ..
You may end up needing muscle relaxers..
Your sis sounds like mine ....she also found out hers is cheating on the diet ...she took the evidence she found and put in his underwear drawer in a baggie ...Didnt say a word , just put it iso he would see she knew LOL ,,,she is funny ..
Have a blessed and happy day ...

I feel your pain ... literally ... Get some muscle relaxers. I have found that helps more than anything else. Even helps my right knee pain, so it must be from the nerves in the back.
I was telling someone at work about my knee pain and she was suggesting hot towels soaked in vinegar, or heating pads. I have found that ice works best for me, more so than than heat. But then everyone is different.

Hi All,
Yesterday was long... family gathered around Mom and the major crying has started along with the morphine. My oldest brother (the one that helped me care for her at home) is the most upset which is what I thought would happen. Mom still knows me- I can tell by the look. I'm going to take my pillow with me today and a blanket. I promised I would stay with Mom to the end and it will probably be soon. I'm thinking one week more. My experience with my dear brother Jon is coming back to me- he died in my Mom's house 21 years ago. The process is burned into my brain. Enjoy your day everyone. I'm OK by the way- swollen eyes and a weary brain, but I know how to say goodbye already. I am sad but I don't think that I'm afraid like I was when Jon was dying. I already know that there is a beauty to life and death both. It's easier if you can go with the flow and not fight.
Hugs to all of you.
Julia
